It's this fresh take on the story of Skull Island that helps make the movie seem newer than other Kong movies.

The action is spread throughout the movie with the various bank robberies, a fight that occurs when a couple of young punks stupidly taunt one of the brothers at a convenience store, and car chases as the brothers speed out of town.

But in this movie, it's Penn's performance that really anchors this movie for me.

But when the Congress and the President of MACUSA are not interested in Tina's arrest of Newt due to something serious and mysterious happening on a major level in New York, Tina is left with Newt in her custody.

The movie slowly turns the screws from her son being annoying to me fearing for his safety from the mother.

In the movie, Billy Bob Thornton plays a racist prison guard who works on Death Row, and Heath Ledger is his sensitive son who has started to work with his father.

I realize that there is a conflict going on with movie fans, some of who are growing tired of being bombarded with CGI effects in movies, while others don't mind it.

Perfectly photographed and edited, excellently acted and tightly directed, this is one of Boorman's best movies, and in my opinion, one of the best movies ever made.

Despite the name of Hazel's church, the movie is really not about that, but about his relationships with all the people who come into his orbit and his reaction to them.
